Description
Is there a possibility to add a message parameter to get_object_or_404 and get_list_or_404? This function is lovely and reduces boilerplate a lot. In the view that I'm currently using it, I have business logic that depends on finding other models first, and having a message should be excellent since the lack of a message parameter sends me back to using try-catch or if-None statements.
I know there might be another design or security feature as well but the gain in my code would be significant.
